Did they say how long the stuff last before needing another treatment.

One guy on tos said he's had it on for 5+ months, through the winter (lots of snow, ice, salt, etc...) and said it still looks brand new.  The sun's out, so I'm going to go try some.  I'll post pics later today....Wish me luck!!

And that's not a fart Tdy - that's me trying not to smoke....   :ass1000: 2funny

This is only the first coat - have to go back out and do the second.  I did all the cladding, upper and lower that I could reach and only used maybe about an eighth of a cup - that can will last forever!!  I'll be it could do at least 20 Av's...

Back in a while with the finished product... :dance: :dans2: :clappinani:

Looks interesting, definitely keep us updated on how it holds up to rain and such!  :thumbup:
There are 2 kinds of people: those who Av, and those who Av not!

Sold: White 02 Z71
Currently: 05 Ford Focus Wagon - The Budmobile!  Definitely not an Av, but no payment, no insurance, and no gas!
